G. Kennedy Hall, Jr.

Ken Hall is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to employment law. It is important to note "the law" is something he is well-versed in, but it is his understanding of the system and his willingness to commit which makes him exceptional. I have worked with other attorneys in the past who are very philosophical in their approach to the law. I prefer Ken's matter-of-fact demeanor. Ken Hall is an asset with regard to Worker' Compensation Law. He is well versed in benefit calculations and is timely in presenting options. I lean on him a great deal to insure we make the best decisions possible.

Hiram Ely III

There are many excellent litigators and, within that group, a far smaller subset of excellent trial lawyers. Hiram Ely is a first-class trial lawyer. He is smart, creative, experienced, and pragmatic; he prepares extremely well, and has a persona that appeals to juries and decision-makers. He practices with the highest degree of ethics and professionalism. In addition to all of that, Hiram always seeks to prosecute litigation with efficiency and cost effectiveness, goals that are very important to clients but often difficult to achieve.

Timothy P. O'Mara

I have worked with Tim on several files for over four years. Over that time, he has been an invaluable resource for information, advice, and litigation management. It is obvious from working with Tim that he is the very model of professionalism, legal knowledge, and dependability. I cannot possibly imagine going to anyone else for my Kentucky Workers' Compensation questions and referrals.
